• From 1968, this is the best performing regular 8mm sound projector made. In many ways I consider this model superior to the later Eumig super and dual-8 models. Beautiful condition and meticulously refurbished (totally rebuilt) to run and last like new, including new motor mount bushing supports; and with brand new rubber surfacing on the two drive discs if it was needed. Excellent loud sound from the 3 tube amplifier. Has automatic threading through the film gate; manual threading through the sound head to the take-up reel. Shows sound or silent film much better and safer than the dual-8 models. Has pilot lights that come on when the projection bulb is off for easy threading in the dark. Runs in forward and reverse. Has a variable speed control for speeds from 15 to 25 frames per second. This makes it excellent for electronic image transfer to the computer or DVD, without flicker at 20 fps, through a video camera. The brightest picture avaliable in any 8mm projector using the inexpensive FCR 12 volt 100 watt bulb and f1.3 zoom lens. Almost all steel and metal construction. Operates at 110 to 250 volts.
